I have probably posted almost a dozen biscotti recipes on this blog. Cranberry Orange Biscotti, Chocolate Peppermint Biscotti, Snickerdoodle biscotti, Turtle biscotti and many many more….
Biscotti tastes so much like a crunchy cookie (and remember, I love crunchy cookies!?!). It’s now okay to eat cookies for breakfast, just call it biscotti.
Biscotti are a little different than your average cookie, though. They get their signature crunchy bite from not one but TWO trips to the oven. Don’t worry; it’s not any more difficult to make biscotti than it is drop cookies.
Just shape the dough into one big log, bake, slice and bake again.
As for the eggnog flavor? Well homemade eggnog is a must in my house during the holiday season.
I added a hint of rum flavor and plenty of nutmeg to my biscotti to make them my idea of a marvelous Christmas morning treat. Enjoyed on their own or dunked in hot coffee, you can’t go wrong with Eggnog Biscotti!

Ingredient Notes
Rum extract – There’s no actual eggnog in the biscotti dough itself. Instead, rum extract (or rum flavoring) gives these cookies that recognizable nog taste. You can buy it online or in the baking aisle at most grocery stores. Eggnog – I used a spoonful of eggnog in the glaze instead of milk for the biscotti glaze. Any variety of eggnog you love will work or you can make your own homemade eggnog! Butter – Unsalted butter is best. Let it soften on the counter for a few minutes so it’s easier to work with. Use our guide on how to soften butter for best tips and tricks.Easy Instructions
Like most cookies, this dough starts by beating together butter and sugar. Add eggs, rum extract and your dry ingredients to make a thick dough.
Shape the dough into a rectangle and bake. Let the dough cool for a few minutes, then slice into about a dozen 1-inch slices. Place them on the baking sheet upright and bake for another 20 minutes.
Let the bicotti cool completely while you whisk together the ingredients for the glaze. Drizzle on the biscotti, let it set for a few minutes and enjoy!
Recipe FAQs
No. Rum extract is exponentially more concentrated which is how we get that deep flavor baked into the biscotti!
No special pan necessary! I just use a regular cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
You should get 12 – 14 biscotti, depending on how thick you slice your rectangles after the first bake.
